Hi Frederic,

    Texinfo modified its behavior regarding apostrophes, which are now
    replaced by UTF-8 right single quotes by default.

Sorry to hear it, but not surprised.

    -GNU's Not Unix.
    +@verb{.GNU's Not Unix..}

I don't think there's any guarantee that verb quotes will also be
"helpfully" changed in the future. One wouldn't think so, but ...

So instead, I changed the test document to avoid apostrophes. Pushed the
below. Hope it flies. --thanks, karl.
